  • Vincent DiPietro said:
    It was very rare that slave children dressed this way. Mostly they went about in rags and no shoes. This may have been a propaganda post card attempting to show how well slaves were cared for when they definately were not.
  • Lauren said:
    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Historic Heroines, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Lauren said:
    These children were probably dressed up nicely like this to create a heart-tugging image for northerners, thereby helping the abolitionist cause. Like a picture of a baby harp seal being used to represent all marine life, this is most likely a positive-propaganda image meant to arouse sympathy for those in slavery.

Princess Clotilde and baby (probably Napolèon Victor Bonaparte, born 1862)
